The Islamic State of  Iraq and Syria has began to destroy culture and religion in the Middle East. Their most recent attack was the destruction of the ancient city of Nimrud in northern Iraq last week. This is part of a systematic campaign to destroy historic and archaeological sites. ISIS continues to ruin any ancient site within areas controlled by the group, and will be stopped at nothing to wipe out all ancient culture.

ISIS has began to spark global outrage, and are believed to be selling the ancient artifacts for money on the black market. They have no right to destroy priceless artifacts, or use them to aid in their terror across the Middle East. ISIS has control of nearly 2,000 historical sites, and will destroy them at any time. They have already destroyed several, including the Central Library of Mosul, Mosul Museum, and many others.

ISIS needs to be stopped, and their barbarism continues to show why military forced is needed. They will stop at nothing to remove any sign of life before ISIS came too power, and will kill all other culture and religion.
